The Vine Church Annual Report 2017

OPENING ADDRESS What another incredible year it has been at The Vine! At the beginning of this year we heard God speak clearly on two essential things – ‘Let My People Go’ and ‘from Crowd to Community’.

Both of these mark new culture shifts for us as a church in our vision to Grow Big People in the years ahead. We must continue to press into the season of healing, transformation, and restoration that God has called us to, and at the same time deepen our community with one another.

2017 has been witness to many powerful moves of God amongst us. I think specifically of our recent Re:Think series that helped many of us deal with faulty core beliefs and mindsets, the launch and development of many new organic Community Groups and core leaders across our ministries, the incredible generosity you all showed to help turn our finances around at the beginning of the year, our deepening hunger for missions, and the spirit-led dynamic of The Justice Conference Asia. God is at work growing big people at The Vine and I can’t wait for what He has in store for us in 2018!
